starry skies

How did Starry Skies begin—what ignited the initial idea? Co-founder and director Sid is the creative mind behind our big sister event Shambala and was the catalyst behind Starry Skies. The concept came from the idea of needing another holiday to recover after going on a holiday with the kids, for party people who’ve turned into party parents!

Where do you look for inspiration when planning the event? We spend a lot of time reminiscing about what we got up to as kids, and we think about how we can bring the best bits of our own childhoods to the fields of today. We also make a real point of talking to the kids and grown-ups in our community and listening to what they want to see happen. Shambala is also a great source of inspiration, and there is a crossover with some of the amazing people involved in that festival, so that helps.

What has your experience with festivals been like before?
